MLTIFLE FISHER@ TOOL.

Application Afiled August i9, 1922. Serial No.. S2,996.

To all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that ll, HOBART M. llirnAoLn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Haynesville, vin the parish of Claiborne and State of Louisiana, have invented certaln new and useful Improvements in Multiple Fishing,r Tools, of which the following 1s a specicationlreg'erence being had to the ac companying drawings. n

rlhis invention relates to fishing tools, and more particularly to a multiple ishing tool.

lt is an object of the invention to provide a tool of this character capable of grasping several portions of a sucker rod according to the diameter of said portions.

lt is another object of the invention to provide a device of this character arranged to receive the end of a broken sucker rofl and its connections, and wherein at leastone portion of the sucker. rod will be held securely should the portion that first enters the device he broken :from the remainder of the sucker rod.

lt is a further obect oi 'the invention to provide a device of this character wherein sucker rods of dierent` dimensions may not only he inserted in the tool, but wherein means are provided to prevent interference with the connection of the tool to 'the sucker rod by gas or like pressure means, which might accumulate within the socket of the tool.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the improved construction and arrangement ci' parts to he hereinafter more particularly described7 fully claimed and illustrated the accompanying drawings., whichz-n l n Figure l. is longitudinal sectionai view ci a nshinfg tool constructed in accordance with an embodiment of the invention;

The opposite end portion l() of the head is reduced and threaded for means that might accumulate within the recess 9 and which would undoubtedly interfere with the insertion of the sucker rod in the tool.. A shoulder 13 is provided at the junction of the end portion 8 with the head i', said shoulder being arranged to engage the end face of the .end portion 7 of the body member. The recess 9 of the head is smaller in diameter than the diameter of the tubular body member adjacent the threads of the end 6, so that a portion of the end face of the extension 8 projects inwardly of the tubular member for a purpose to be hereinafter described.

The bore of the body member' 5 adjacent to its longitudinal center is provided with a socket 14- tapering toward the axial center of the body member 5 and in a direction t0- ward the end portion 15 oi' the body.. memher. rlhe end portion l5 also has its here tapered, said taper being disposed inwardly thereof from the end :tace 3.6 of the member 5 with the inner end oi said tapered portion of diameter less than the diameter ot' the adjacent end of the adjacent socket le whereby an internal shoulder l? is atiorded to provide a seat. The wall the bore oi the tapered portion l5 of the member 5 is provided therearound with a spiral tooth 19 the convolutions oi' Y"hch being; interrupted or tinted as at 189 id intemnptions being prei@- at points equi-distantly spaoed around the wall ot' such bora Bisposed withn the body member and normally resting,7 within tapered socket is a movable jaw member comprising' jiaw sections f@ and 2l. -lach section suhstant s i circular has the outer" rece or s nd portion tapered in eordence tapered socket iat, so that movement o 'ine sections and toward the static Pv inw memhe s wili decree-ee space h said sete ma Lidy/the ci ition or a ai and the able 'iawf, compartan, nt

willl pass between the Ajaw sections 2O andv 21 resulting in an upward movememtofsaid jaw sections against the action of the spring 24, the resultant tension vof the spring lcausing the teeth of the sections 20 and 21 to impinge or have sufiicient frictional en agement with the rod whereby said rod is rmly locked within the body member. If the rod be lbroken oli' at a connection, the box or pin' will not pass entirely through the tapered bore of the portion 15 of the member 5 but under such conditions, turning movement imposed on the body 5 will cause the 'threads 18 to impinge such portion of the rod and this action is further facilitated by the interruptions or flutes 18 as the same produces a plurality of entering points.

From the foregoing it will be readily seen that this invention provides a novel form of fishing tool capable of removing sucker rods of any dimension, and also capable of holding the sucker rod at various points according to the diameter of the rod and its connections. All of these features are possessed by a tool composed of only a few numberof simple parts.

What is claimed is:-

1. A fishing tool comprising an elongated hollow body vhaving the lower'end of its bore tapered to define a socket, the smaller diameter of said socket being at the upper end thereof, the wall of said socket being pro vided therealong with a spiral tooth, a stop formed at the inner end of the tapered enlargement, that portionof the tubular body member inwardly of the stop being formed Ainto a tapering socket, a movable sectional jaw disposed within said socket, and normally engaged with the stop, a detachable head havingone end thereof reduced and threaded beyond the opposite end portion of the body member, said reduced end having a recess smaller in diameter than the diam- '55 eter ofthe body member, said head member having a transversely extending passagein the outer end portion thereof, al second pass# age communicating with said passage and the recess of the head, and a coil spring engaged with the inner end face of the head and at its opposite-end with the sections of the movable jaw.

2. A lishing tool comprising an elongated cylindrical. body formed at its lower end with an upwardly tapering socket having the wall thereof formed with teetharranged in groups, a stop shoulder at the top of said soc et, said body being hollow and having its interior wall tapering upwardly and outwardly from its shoulder, a cap removably engaged within the upper end of the body and provided with Asuspension means, a movable sectional jaw member mounted withiix the body and normally seating upon said stop shoulder,'the,lower portion of the outer wall of said jaw member being tapered and conformingly engagin the tapered inner wall of the body, sai jaw, member being provided therealong' with a` tooth, and a spring engaging the cap and the jaw member for normally urging the' latter into engagement with said shoulder.

3. vA fishing tool comprising an elongated cylindrical-body. .formed at, its lower end with an upwardly tapering' socket havin the wall thereof formed with teetharrange in groups, a stop shoulder at the top of said socket, said body being hollow and having its interior wall tapering iipwardly and outwardly from its shoulder, a cap removably1 engaged within the upper end of the body y and provided with suspension means, a mov" able sectional jaw member'mounted within the body and normally seating vupon said stop shoulder, the lower portion .of the outer wall of said jaw member being tapered and conformingly enga ing the tapered inner wall of the body, sai jaw member being provided therealong with a tooth,`and a spring 100,

engaging the cap and the jaw member for normally urging the latter into-engagement with said shoulder, the convolutions of said tooth being interrupted. l l
